Sorry, knarf, I was banned on Sunday for going over there to tell them to check out the Hill, someone was impersonating us. Just thought they would want to know. Jen thanked me, I went back 10 minutes later and I couldn't log on - banned. I have never been banned from anything or anyplace in my life. Oh, well, it is their loss.

I'll send good wishes for all of you, if that's okay.

by Corinne Today at 6:45 pmHi everyone:

I haven't posted much in the last month or so, but today I felt as tho I needed prayers for my family:

At 1:20pm this afternoon we received a phone call that my husbands 20 yr. old nephew had shot and killed himself..

Our hearts are heavy~

Over the last yr. this young man has been struggling, graduated from high school and on to college with a wrestling scholarship.. This past summer his mother had kicked him out of the house for NOT being able to find a JOB, he stayed with friends or where ever he could lay his head..I had many talks with him about staying and keeping positive about his future, he had his whole life ahead of him..At Xmas he sat next to me at the dinner table and thanked me for my words..

He wasn't into drugs or drinking, just a normal 20 something finding his way thru this cruel world..

Last night he went to talk to his parents about coming home and living there while he attended college and yes looking for a job..My sister-in-law snapped and there was a violent argument she went after him and wouldn't leave him alone..He broke into the gun cabinet and grabbed a shot gun and shot himself point blank in his chest.

He will be missed so much by so many, my heart is breaking..

Im trying to hold it together but am unable to as we will be with family for the next few days.

Please keep us in your prayers and that God accepts this beautiful man into his arms and holds him tight.

Very sorry to hear that. A very, very close family member took his life his first week in college in 1999. He was 19 and had a very bright future in front of him. I will never forget the phone call from the chaplin, he simply said "Michael is no longer with us". The first thought that crosses your mind is 'where did he go" and then it hits. I really don't remember much after that. Almost 12 years later and when I read this letter it all came back. Such a tragedy.

I feel that person's pain, there is nothing like it in the world. Please send my sincerest condolences. They will always live in our hearts.
